Vodafone has revised its Rs. 448 and Rs. 509 plans[1] to offer more validity and data to prepaid subscribers just as the Reliance Jio slashed prices of its 1GB data per day plans. The two Vodafone[2] recharge packs also offer 1GB data per day, and are better positioned to take on the revised Jio[3] plans with the extra data and validity. The two revised plans are available via both the official website as well as the MyVodafone app. However, the revised plans have not been made available in all circles yet.
The Rs. 458 plan offered 70-day validity till recently, but is now valid for 84 days. This means users will get 84GB of data during the validity period, up from 70GB. Similarly, the Rs. 509 Vodafone plan used to provide prepaid subscribers with 84-day validity but will remain active for 91 days now. This brings up the bundled data from 84GB to 91GB for the total validity period.
Other freebies with the two recharge packs include unlimited calls to any network across India (up to 250 minutes a day, 1,000 minutes a week), no charges for calls on roaming, and 100 SMSes per day. Apart from this, customers also get access to the Vodafone Play app.

Interestingly, in Odisha, Rajasthan and Haryana circles, both the Rs. 458 and Rs. 509 plans offer validity of 84 days, which essentially leaves the latter redundant. In all other circles, buyers will get 84-day and 91-day...
